san Francisco elopement wedding videographer
Elopements and Micro Weddings are the newest hot trend, and it has been particularly dominant in 2020. While covid postponed most large weddings, we've seen a significant increase in requests for small weddings, outdoor elopements, and micro weddings.

Elopement videography vs full day wedding
Filming an elopement in Big Sur or any other place in the Bay Area is significantly different than shooting a full wedding. Not only are there fewer people involved, but there are also fewer details (usually), fewer logistics, and more time. Typical Videographer Team is smaller as well, but that has to do with social distancing. This opens a unique opportunity to focus on the couple and storytelling and build a narrative and atmosphere that you can't do at a large wedding with a complicated timeline.
Here is an example of an intimate backyard wedding we filmed during COVID
Sometimes, professional, high-end wedding videography is not associated with shooting an elopement; after all, elopements are small and intimate events, and why would you need a big wedding videography team for a small gathering? The truth is, creative cinematography is not achieved with large teams or high-end equipment, but rather through artistic vision, lots of experience, and patience. A professional wedding videographer will be able to deliver a wedding film that you will cherish for years to come.
